calling Anglos and Anglophiles

[brightlywoven]

(inspired by foreverdirt's latest link)

One thing I have found to stand between me and the feeling that England is home, has been my lack of familiarity with the people of pop and political culture. I have for indtance, rarely any idea who humph is snarking about in ISIHAC. Partly this is because I have no tv. However, rather than get one, then try to trawl through for the good bits, I am asking you, dear friends list to point me the right way.

Week one: comedy

Can you suggest British comedy or comedians that would probably not be known internationally which I might enjoy? (eg a passing comment from shanith led me to mitch benn. Awsome)

Hut 33 is rubbish - it's a sit com set in Bletchley Park, which has potential, but in fact it's really, really awful (and makes 'Allo 'Allo look like a model of complexity and intellectual wit†)


Second the recommendation for Old Harry's Game.

† I like 'Allo, 'Allo, but I'm sure you can imagine what I;m getting at...
